I dont remember where but I recall that Cloudfare dont use computers to generate random numbers because its literally impossible. It is always mathematics so its predictable , hard yes but predictable. Instead Cloudfare uses lava lamps movements and calculate that , as it is very random. I will look for the article so don't take my word for it.

cloudflare uses a wall of lavalamps because it's a fun project that looks cool and gets free advertising.

There are so many sources of noise, lavalamps are probably one of the most expensive in set up and running costs.

It's a pretty cool wall though, hence the free advertising.
